Here are the top stories today in Southampton:

  1. Officials said that preserving Southampton’s historic maps, is an "important modern task." The maps are kept on climate-controlled shelves in a vault on the lower-level of Town Hall. (Southampton Town - Government via Facebook)
  2. Copycat attack threats have been circulating since the Texas mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. On Thursday, a Long Island 13 year old was arrested for "threatening to carry out a shooting at Westhampton Beach Middle School," authorities said. He told police that violence was the only way to end the bullying by his peers, police said. (News 12 Brooklyn)
  3. Critical to the realization of the Riverside Privatization Action Plan, adopted by the Southampton Town Board in 2015, is the creation of a Sewage Treatment Plant. Southampton Town hopes to establish Riverside sewer district by year's end, with construction to begin in 2023, officials said. (RiverheadLOCAL via Instagram)
  4. Just a reminder that on Saturday, the East Hampton Pride Parade begins at 11 a.m. near Pond View Lane and Guild Hall. The website carved out the itinerary, "at noon, participants will march east on Main Street and continue to Herrick Park via Newton Lane, Railroad Avenue, and Lumber Lane." The park will be hopping until 3 p.m. with celebration and music from deejay Karin Ward. (East Hampton Star)
